Adam Brody Calls Gaza a Genocide, Says Hollywood Grew More Conservative Under Trump

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 28

Summary

  • GQ published Adam Brody’s first public comments on the war, with the actor saying Israel’s campaign in Gaza is “a genocide” and backing a “free Palestine.”
  • Brody tied his remarks to broader political activism, saying he had discussed the conflict privately before and arguing Hollywood became less willing to speak out during Donald Trump’s second presidency.
  • Trump’s return, Brody said, made corporations more aligned with him and raised the perceived career risk of public dissent, even as he sees progressive activism “picking up steam” again ahead of the next election.
  • Netanyahu has rejected genocide allegations at the UN, while Brody’s comments place him alongside other progressive celebrities including Mark Ruffalo and Macklemore who have used the same label.
